Hints about tools for generating typed Python clients

[fgebhart]

Hi there 👋

we built an API application using actix and have a bunch of python applications that interact with the API. As the interface is subject to frequent changes, we are looking for some tooling that allows us to generate some Python code that implements the interface and types of the endpoints of our API application, so we can actually validate/enforce the python applications to be in sync with the actix API app.

One potential solution to this I could imaging is generating OpenAPI specs using e.g. apistos or paperclip and subsequently generate pydantic classes based on the OpenAPI specs.

Haven't really tried that approach yet and hoped to maybe learn about a few other options before implementing the one option I'm aware of.

Thanks in advance!
